2025 is the year of me being validated for always saying the Cold War never really ended, it just became quieter. Unfortunately. I did not want concrete proof that I was right.

Keeping my kiddo home today because her nose is basically a snot fountain. Gonna do 3 player family Minecraft time. 💜

I don't know anything about this but the artwork looks cool.

I'd never describe myself as a lover of nationalism, but I do love the way Canada is banding together during the shitshow that is Trump's presidency.

'Sin of empathy' my ass. Empathy has always been a part of intelligent life (as we know it).

Double checking that I know how to say my allergies in Japanese so I don't make a spectacle of myself on my upcoming trip. 👍🏽

I am heartbroken for all the Jewish people around me and everywhere whose family members died in the Holocaust, and who today saw the richest man in the world perform a Nazi salute during the Presidential inauguration.

I despise the fact that these wealthy tech guys keep trying to use AI to replace creativity and human connection. Extremely dystopian.

We don’t talk enough about how normal people flaunting COVID restrictions without consequence accelerated the breakdown of social order that started with the rise of Trump. When there’s no consequences for being an asshole, the worst assholes get to show you who they are.

Something important to remember is that when we talk about protecting sex workers, we don't just mean from sexual predators or serial killers.

There are several ways sex workers can experience violence.

Watching the Dead Ringers TV series even though it's poking at the part of my brain that is very traumatized from pregnancy/delivery. But I love the movie and Rachel Weisz was one of my earliest queer crushes, so here I am. #horror

I'm so tired of streaming services cancelling shows all the time. Just got into Outer Range. It reminds me of one of my old favorite shows, Lost. Looked it up to see when season 3 would be out and of course there won't be one.

Cleaning the garage is great because I always find treasures! Found these and a bunch of mailers. UK and US paperbacks $14 (mailing is expensive these days, sorry!) and HOBAR hardcovers $20. PayPal works. Signed/dedicated/whatever. Mailing them on Monday. Want one? Let me know!

In the age of everything being subscription based, I really regret getting rid of most of my physical media. Slowly trying to start getting actual copies of things that I can actually own again.

*clears throat* Also, before I start work for the day, REMINDER to please apply for the Banff Centre science fiction literary arts residency in 2025! If you write sci-fi, it's a great chance to focus on it for a couple weeks along with me, @aijiang.bsky.social , and @amalelmohtar.com !

I have been fascinated by the Paris catacombs for so long, so I had high hopes for As Above So Below. It was a ginormous let down for me.
